Our current data ecosystem leaves individuals, groups, and society vulnerable to a wide range of harms, ranging from privacy violations to subversion of autonomy to discrimination to erosion of trust in institutions. In this talk, the Data Co-ops Project, a multi-institution, multi-disciplinary effort co-led with Kobbi Nissim will be discussed. The Project seeks to organize our understanding of these harms and to coordinate a set of technical and legal approaches to addressing them.

As reported in the journal Nature, a clinical trial participant with cervical spinal cord injury used the system to “type” words on a computer at a rate of 90 characters per minute, more than double the previous record for typing with a brain-computer interface. The participant had to merely think about the hand motions involved in creating written letters to complete the task. The research team is hopeful that such a system could one day help to restore people’s ability to communicate following paralysis caused by injury or illness. A clinical trial participant created these letters o...

[Brown University] -- Researchers with the BrainGate collaboration have, for the first time, used an implanted sensor to record the brain signals associated with handwriting, and used those signals to create text on a computer in real time. In a study published in the journal Nature, a clinical trial participant with cervical spinal cord injury ...
